The principal means in order to make the Divine Will reign: the knowledges. Difference between one who lives in the Divine Will and one who lives in the human will.

I was continuing my acts in the Divine Volition, and I thought to myself:  ‘How can the Divine Will come to reign?  What will be the means, the helps, the graces in order to dispose the creatures to let themselves be dominated by It?’  And my always beloved Jesus, moving in my interior, all goodness and tenderness, told me:  “My daughter, the principal means in order to make my Divine Fiat reign upon earth are the knowledges about It.  The knowledges will form the ways, will dispose the earth to become Its Kingdom; they will form the cities, will act as telegraphs, as telephone, as postal service, as trumpeters, in order to communicate, city to city, creature to creature, nation to nation, the news, the important knowledges about my Divine Will.  And the knowledges about It will cast into the hearts the hope, the desire to receive a good so great.  From here one cannot escape:  a good cannot be wanted nor received if it is not known; and if it were received without knowing it, it is as if it were not received.  Therefore, the foundations, the hope, the certainty of the Kingdom of my Divine Will will be formed by the knowledges about It.  This is why I have told so many of them – because they will be the riches, the nourishment, and the new suns, the new heavens, which the peoples of the Kingdom of my Volition will possess.

Now, when the knowledges about my Fiat will make their way, disposing those who will have the good of knowing them, my more than paternal goodness, in order to show the excess of my Love, will place my very Humanity, all the good I did, in each creature, at her disposal, in a way that they will feel such strength and grace as to let themselves be dominated by my Divine Will.  And my Humanity will be in the midst of the children of my Kingdom, like Heart in their midst, for the decorum and the honor of my Fiat, and as antidote, grace and defense from all the evils which the human will has produced.  The ardor of my Love that wants It to reign is such and so great, that I will perform such excesses of love as to win the most rebellious wills.”

On hearing this, I remained surprised, and as if I wanted to cast a doubt on what Jesus had told me.  And He, resuming His speaking, added:  “My daughter, why do you doubt about it?  Am I perhaps not Free to do what I want and to give Myself as I please to give Myself?  Is my Humanity perhaps not the first firstborn Brother who possessed the Kingdom of my Divine Will, and, as the first Brother, I have the right to communicate the right to possess It to the other brothers, placing my very self at their disposal in order to give them a good so great?  Am I not the Head of the whole human family, who can make the virtue of the Head flow in their members and make the vital act of my Divine Will descend into the members?  And besides, is it perhaps not my Humanity that dwells in you continuously, that gives you such strength and grace for wanting to live only of my Will, and makes you feel such peace and happiness, as to eclipse your human will, in a way that it itself feels happy to live as though without life under the empire of my Divine Will?  Therefore, what I need is that they know the knowledges about my Fiat – the rest will come by itself.”

After this, I continued in my abandonment in the Divine Fiat.  It seemed to me that in It there are no stops, there is always something to do – but a doing that does not tire; on the contrary, it fortifies, it makes one happy and rejoice in one’s long journey.  But while I was thinking about this, my Highest Good, Jesus, added:  “My daughter, one who lives in my Divine Volition always walks, because she has the round of eternity at her disposal, which never ends.  And by never stopping, she always takes; and if she stopped, one little stop, one step less, would cost her the loss of a divine step and happiness.  In fact, my Fiat is an act ever new of happiness, of grace and of indescribable and unreachable beauty, and if the soul walks, she takes, while if she stops, she does not take, because not having followed, step by step, the path of my Divine Volition, she has known nothing of the happiness and beauty which my Will has issued in that step.  And who can tell you the great difference between one who lives in my Divine Will and one who lives in the human will?  One who lives in the human will stops constantly, her round is so short that if she wants to extend her step, she finds no place on which to put her foot.  At each step she takes, she gets now a displeasure, now a disillusion, and she feels one more weakness, which drags her even to sin.  Oh! how brief is the circle of the human will - full of miseries, of precipices and of bitternesses.  Yet, they love so much to live in its circle! What madness, what foolishness to be deplored!”
